A SENDING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SCHEDULING REQUEST (SR) SIGNAL
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a method for sending an uplink signal in a communication system, and particularly to a method and a corresponding device for a mobile terminal to send a scheduling request signal to a base station in a long term evolution (LTE) system.
BACKGROUND
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a frame structure in a time division duplex (TDD) mode in an LTE system. The frame structure is also referred to as frame structure type 2. In the frame structure, one 10ms (which occupies 307200 Ts, with 30720 Ts/ms) radio frame is divided into two half-frames, the length of each half-frame is 5ms (i.e.
153600 Ts), each half-frame contains 5 subframes, and the length of each subframe is 1 ms. The function of each subframe is shown in Table 1. Specifically, D
denotes a downlink subframe for transmitting a downlink signal, and U denotes an uplink subframe (also referred to as a normal uplink subframe) for transmitting an uplink signal. In addition, one uplink/downlink subframe is divided into 2 time slots, and the length of each time slot is 0.5ms. S denotes a special subframe, which contains three special time slots, i.e. a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), a guard period (GP) and an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS). In an actual system, an uplink/downlink configuration index may be notified to a user equipment (UE) through a broadcasting message.

This means that the UE cannot be ensured to utilize the radio frame sufficiently and effectively, and this even causes that the SR signal sent from the UE may not be received reliably by the base station. Therefore, it is currently required to propose a method which can allow the UE to determine the radio frame and subframe for sending the SR signal according to the SR sending periodicity and the subframe offset.

Embodiment 1 If the SR periodicity NSR P is 5ms and the subframe offset NOFFSET,SR is 2, the system frame number of of the subframe and the radio frame for sending the SR signal satisfies the equation (10 x of + LnSI2J - NOFFSET,SR )modNSR P = 0, where ns is the time slot index.
NSR-P =5, NOFFSET,SR=2 are introduced into the above-mentioned equation, then the system frame number of of the subframe and the radio frame for sending the SR
signal satisfies (10 x of + Lns/2J - 2)mod5 = 0.
If of =0, since NOFFSET,SR =2, n, =4, 5 or ns =14, 15, (10x0+4/2-2)mod5=0mod5=0, where the condition is satisfied, (10x0+5/2-2) mod5 =0.5 mod5 =0, where the condition is satisfied, thus subframe 2, i.e. the 3rd subframe, satisfies the above-mentioned condition;
similarly, subframe 7, i.e. the 8th subframe, also satisfies the above-mentioned condition; and similarly, if nf =1,2,......, every 3rd subframe and every 8th subframe satisfy the above-mentioned condition.

If of =0, since NQFFSET,SR =2, ns =4, 5 or ns =14, 15, (10x0+4/2-2)mod10=0mod10=0, where the condition is satisfied, (10x0+5/2-2) mod 10 =0.5 mod 10 =0, where the condition is satisfied, thus subframe 2, i.e. the 3rd subframe, satisfies the above-mentioned condition; and (10x0+14/2-2)mod10=5mod10=5, where the condition is not satisfied, (10x0+15/2-2)mod10=5.5mod10=5, where the condition is not satisfied, thus subframe 7, i.e. the 8th subframe, does not satisfy the above-mentioned condition.
Similarly, if nf=1,2........ every 3rd subframe satisfies the above-mentioned condition.
Therefore, the UE sends the SR signal in the 3rd subframe (subframe 2, corresponding to time slot number 4, 5) of each radio frame.

signal satisfies the equation (10 x of + Lns/2 j - NOFFSET,SR )mod NSR P = 0, where ns is the time slot index.
If of =0, since NOFFSET,SR =1 2, ns =4, 5, (10x0+4/2-2)mod20=0mod20=0, where the condition is satisfied, II
(10X0+5/2-2)mod20=0.5mod20=0, where the condition is satisfied, thus the 3rd subframe, i.e. subframe 2, of the 1st radio frame satisfies the above-mentioned condition;
if of=1, (10X1+4/2-2)mod20=1Omod20=10, where the condition is not satisfied, (10X1+5/2-2)mod20=10.5mod20=10, where the condition is not satisfied;
if of =2, (10X2+4/2-2)mod20=20mod20=0, where the condition is satisfied, (10X2+5/2-2)mod20=20.5mod20=0, where the condition is satisfied;
if of =3, (10X3+4/2-2)mod20=30mod20=10, where the condition is not satisfied, (10X3+5/2-2)mod20=0.5mod20=10, where the condition is not satisfied; and Therefore, the UE sends the SR signal in the 3rd subframe (corresponding to time slot number 4, 5) of the radio frame having an odd of (the 1st 3rd, 5th .. radio frame, i.e.

NSR-P =5, NOFFSET,SR=2 are introduced into the above-mentioned equation, then the system frame number of of the subframe and the radio frame for sending the SR
signal satisfies (10 x of + Lns/2J - 2)mod5 = 0.
If of =0, since NOFFSET,SR =2, n, =4, 5 or ns =14, 15, (10x0+4/2-2)mod5=0mod5=0, where the condition is satisfied, (10x0+5/2-2) mod5 =0.5 mod5 =0, where the condition is satisfied, thus subframe 2, i.e. the 3rd subframe, satisfies the above-mentioned condition;
similarly, subframe 7, i.e. the 8th subframe, also satisfies the above-mentioned condition; and similarly, if nf =1,2,......, every 3rd subframe and every 8th subframe satisfy the above-mentioned condition.
Therefore, the UE sends the SR signal in the 3rd subframe (subframe 2, corresponding to time slot number 4, 5) and the 8th subframe (subframe 7, corresponding to time slot number 14, 15) of each radio frame.

Similarly, if nf=1,2........ every 3rd subframe satisfies the above-mentioned condition.
Therefore, the UE sends the SR signal in the 3rd subframe (subframe 2, corresponding to time slot number 4, 5) of each radio frame.

signal satisfies the equation (10 x of + Lns/2 j - NOFFSET,SR )mod NSR P = 0, where ns is the time slot index.
If of =0, since NOFFSET,SR =1 2, ns =4, 5, (10x0+4/2-2)mod20=0mod20=0, where the condition is satisfied, II
(10X0+5/2-2)mod20=0.5mod20=0, where the condition is satisfied, thus the 3rd subframe, i.e. subframe 2, of the 1st radio frame satisfies the above-mentioned condition;
if of=1, (10X1+4/2-2)mod20=1Omod20=10, where the condition is not satisfied, (10X1+5/2-2)mod20=10.5mod20=10, where the condition is not satisfied;
